"Identity is one of the most important political and cultural issues of our time. Translation and Identity looks at how translation has played a crucial role in shaping debates around identity, language and cultural survival in the past and in the present." "Drawing on a wide range of materials from official government reports to Shakespearean drama to Hollywood films, Translation and Identity demonstrates that translation is central to any proper understanding of the emergence of cultural identity in human history, and offers an innovative and positive vision of the way in which translation can be used to deal with one of the most salient issues in an increasingly borderless world."--BOOK JACKET.
